I got this almost a year ago. I didn't open it until last week. I am using it for soap making. It isn't heating up my water. My soap is too soft.

If the pellets are not stuck together in the bottle then the NaOH is as good as brand new. Make sure you're using distilled or deionized water, because tap water contains calcium ions which will combine with the hydroxide. If your pellets are good and you're using distilled water, my guess is that you are not using enough lye. The water will heat up more if you use more lye.

I am very sorry that I cannot help you with this problem. I have only made soap once and it was only about five months ago. Sorry

Are you bringing the water to a gentle boil, is the pot Stainless steel? are the instruments you using stainless steel. Are you using enough of the Hydroxide to harden the soap. I ask because in baking I shorted the flavor of the food product. Sorry I can't be of more help. You may want to contact the manufacturer, I have and they are good to work with. Best of luck

I just tossed mine after it burned up from making CP soap in less than a year and about 15 batches. It was a pain to clean and the plastic bottom broke when it fell over.

I bathe in pretty hot water, and it hasn't melted. I don't see how it could happen.

I use mine for soap, but this mold is very flimsy. I can almost see thru the silicone it is so thin. It works fine for soap and the heat doesn't seem to hurt, but you would want to support it well .

The only thing I could think of is that maybe your batteries are low, and are not letting the display give the correct indication. Is it still dispensing the soap though? If the line is plugged it may need cleaning. Use a pipette brush to run backwards through the opening where the soap comes out, and rinse well You can rinse the soap compartment, but try to keep the electronics dry though. Hope this helps, :)

I use mine primarily for hot chocolate for my son's swim team. Not once was it hot to the touch. I usually put hot water prior to putting in the hot chocolate. Maybe something is wrong with the 1 you have.

I only use mine to make soap once I ad lye to the fat. Sorry I can't help you

Check to see if there is a build up of soap where it dispenses. Many times, when there is a build up, the sensor acts "flaky", dispensing soap whenever it wants. Simply clean off the build up and you should be good. At least, this is what I have found on several of mine.

There is a problem with the spring inside.....it should come back up almost as fast as your hand...Mine work great & would buy one again...you need to return it..must be defective....only other possibility is if you are using a very thick bodied soap....most liquid hand soaps should be fine.Hope this helps.

I am on brackish water, and have owned the craft a little more than a year. I can tell you that I have not noticed any difference in its condition over than time.

I have already used all of this product, and no longer have the containers. I ordered it because. Soft soap is the only liquid soaps I can use. I'm allergic to aloe, so I have a difficult time finding products. My usual Soft Soap is the milk and honey one but it was out of stock. I remember that this worked fine for me and my family.

It worked great for a year and now won't make any mist. Someone said electrodes may be clogged with minerals from my water. True? Should I scrap or try to fix?

Hi John, Sassy has several models of these soft rubber bottle scrubbers and the picture of yours shows it is not the one I own. Basically they all fill with soap from the end of the handle. The fill spot in the handle will either pop out like a stopper or screw off like a bottle cap. If you look at the center bottom of the scrubber you will see a hole where the soap will be dispensed during use via an unseen membrane that activates when pressed the scrubber end against the bottom of the bottle or jar you are cleaning. If the membrane inside the hole goes bad or you do not tighten the handle fill plug correctly the soap will just run out of the bottom and be lost. I always hold a finger gently against the bottom hole when filling to assure soap doesn't flow through for lack of a vacuum. If you have put soap in the handle and it is not flowing then the hole at the bottom may be "clogged" so try using toothpich with point cut off to clear it--be gentle and do not push so hard inside as to puncture that membrane just beyond the hole. If you have had your brush two years that membrane in the bottom may be a "crispy critter" by now and may not work correctly but give it a try anyway and see. Hope this helps.--- Dixie

Good news I tried something I took mine and rinsed it a few times under warm water then washed the whole thing in warm soapy water now it's nice and clean and good to go, it's all dry now so washing didn't ruin it. I couldn't get the filter out of mine either my friend has one same thing

It is heated. I put pretty warm water in before I use it. BUT it does not stay hot (warm)
